Wellness Wednesday
Do you use essential oils?
I’ll tell you what! My Little Ladybug was complaining about ear pain today and I didn’t have anything to help her. I felt awful. Apparently, the other day when we grabbed replacement children’s medicines, I grabbed 2 “cold and coughs” instead of a pain reliever.
I decided it was time for Dr Google to come to my rescue.
One of the methods for curing ear pain included essential oils.
I just so happened to have some tea tree oil which is what it asked for. So, I gave it a chance.
After about an hour of screaming in pain before I applied the oils, she was all better! I couldn’t believe it! Now, she calls it my magic medicine!
It’s gotten me more curious about them. I feel good knowing that I didn’t give her any medication but rather a natural remedy.
And, I’m very impressed at how well it worked!
I’ve used a few oils in a diffuser before basically to help me tame down my Scentsy addiction. But, I’ve never used them with an actual goal in mind like I did today.
I’m excited to try some more! I know it’s something I will be looking closer into that’s for sure!
If you use oils, what are your favorite oil uses?
**no I don’t sell oils. I’m just fascinated at how quickly it worked and wanted to share my excitement with you!
With Aloha,
Lacy

I’ve been using oils for more than 20 years. I worked in a hippie shop in college, lol. I always keep tea tree in my cabinet, along with lavender. But for ear trouble, I use Wally’s Ear Oil. It’s all natural and organic and worked wonders when my son was a baby 🙂
Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to look into for some so I can be better prepared next time!
Love love love essential oils. Their so great to have on hand. Their great for a variety of DIY home remedies plus they smell good🙂
Yes! I know I’m a believer! What’s your favorite use?
Eucalyptus Oil is great for cleaning. It gets the left over residues of sticky tape and glues off easily. Tea Tree oil for removing ticks and on stings. 2 great products that originated in Australia.
Wow! Thats cool! Thanks for sharing that!
Eucalyptus Oil is good to unblock stuffy noses. A spot on a hanky at night helps sleep
That sounds magical!
Why do you think that it is the only substance that Koalas eat? They do seem to be in a torpor most of the time 😀
haha! Yes, that sounds about right!
Lavender, Myrrh, Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood all have awesome healing qualities to name a few, and I also have a diffuser I use everyday. I just wrote a post on a overview of benefits you might like that goes more into detail if you’d like to check it out. Glad Tea Tree helped your little one, those earaches are painful! I use a mix of tea tree/grapeseed oil for the same thing.
Thank you so much!!!!
Lavender, yalang yalang, sandlewood, and Rosemary are my go too lately. I started using them to help my anxiety and have so many great uses. I even but Rosemary in my Shampoo to help acheve that heathly hair we all want. I also just wrote a blog post on the use of essential oils.
Thank you! I will look for your post!
I use essential oils all day long so I’m not sure where to start :0)! Actually, here’s a starting point in how I use them, a blog post I did about it back in Nov.: http://botanicalalchemyandapothecary.com/sense-ational-scents
Great post! I’ll definitely be going back to it for reference later! I’d like to make some of your sprays!
Cedarwood and Lavendar are my favorites. Best sleep I have had in a long time.
I will try that combination tonight! I’ve been linking: Lavender, Valor, and Stress Away mixed at night!
